Graphing software

Guys

I wonder if anybody can help please?

I need a program which will allow me to set up a graph and plot points and will then draw the best curve through the points.

Any ideas?

Thanks

MS excel will do that for you Paul

Hmmm.

It might if one knew how to use it Christopher.

At the risk of stating the bleedin' obvious.

If you have Excel. use the help Topic "Creating Charts" it is very comprehensive and easy to follow.

If it was "bleedin' obvious" Mick, I wouldn't be asking for help.

As it is, the Excel help points to a tutorial which has given me enough to be going on with. Thanks

I wasn't being critical, just a little joke.

If you highlight the data in the columns/rows then right click - choose create chart it is then a wizard driven set of menus and you will the graph you need to start off with
